At midnight Mass, Christmas 2005, Fr. Flynn
confers the rare honour of the Medal of Merit of the Altar Servers' Guild of St.
Stephen on Desmond Mulcahy to mark 25 years of dedicated service as an altar
server. We congratulate Desmond.

St
Raphael's has a dedicated team of altar servers who are skilled in serving
Mass and such ceremonies as Confirmation
with the Archbishop. St Raphael's altar servers are part of the
Guild of St Stephen.

Holy Week ceremonies
are truly beautiful and moving, and bring the parish closer to Christ. The
altar servers play an important role in bringing the message of the death and
resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ to the community.
